November 2007 saw a very successful showcase in Cairns, where community leaders gathered to share outcomes and solutions. Find out more about the showcase here.
Online Events: e-Show n Tell
The day after the live showcase in Cairns, community leaders from two projects presented in an online network event, known as "e-Show n Tell". Jan and Denece from East Gippsland joined Rod MacDonald from Byron Bay Shire ACE in a wide-ranging discussion of the stories and issues from their journeys.
"The E-learning Creative Community Partnerships Project aims to create sustainable demand for, and use of, e-learning in communities, to foster both learning in the communities, and through learning, economic and regional development for the communities involved. [..] reaching disengaged and disadvantaged client groups, including people with disabilities, disengaged youth, mature age workers, long term welfare recipients, and people in rural and remote areas."
"Tapping into Resources online" - September event at the Flexible Learning Networks: Our presentation (6-8 Sept.) looked at engaging learners and communities. What strategies, tools or resources might be most useful? Find our session in the conference here, and notes for the session here: 1. engaging, 2. links, 3. tangents, 4. eDayz mind map.
A Change of Scene
In April, '06, Delia Bradshaw gave a stirring presentation to the community leaders, entitled "A Change of Scene", on the topic of Community, Technology and Learning. "Have these words become 'weasel words', or are they still words that can stir our hearts and our heads, and move us to action?" You can revisit this presentation here. (You'll need flash player for the audio.)
